Now more than ever the mental health of those around us, of those we know and those we do not are of utmost importance. With a sharp increase in Anxiety and Depression amongst individuals in our communities I feel it is time to do whatever, little or great, to bring awareness, support and funds to help whomever needs it.
What can we do? I say we can keep a focus of mental Health on everyone’s minds and provide an opportunity for others to do the same. Through participation, challenge and donations. #MTB4MH (Mountain Biking for Mental Health) I feel is a great start.
Challenge yourself, spread the purpose and help me and others raise funds for the CMHA (Canadian Mental Health Association). Four Days Four Trails 100kms for ONE Purpose…. Mental Health Support! Take it upon yourself to ride four days in a row, four different trails, 100km cumulative distance. Let everyone know, hashtage your rides #MTB4MH on Strava, Facebook and Instagram and direct anyone willing to support your challenge acceptance with a donation to the Group CMHA page.
Plan your rides, recruit your friends, Donate and Go Ride!
